necessary to clamp down on on various websites that they see as a threat to their rule one other thing we've seen as well is admins of facebook pages who are critical of the muslim brotherhood are being targeted and we've we're seeing more of these kind of clampdowns either in the physical realm and now they're moving on to doing it technically through you know through you tube and various other sites we can expect more of that. well of course the ongoing unrest isn't confined to egypt as we report later this hour a deepening political crisis an escalating clash in tunisia with a country that gave birth to the alps going to be heading towards another revolution. coming up a crackdown on the opposition in bahrain on the streets in the courts and in the media we report from the gulf kingdom where people have been demanding for change for more than two years now. well in the united states

about this case and i'm currently reviewing legal documents that are becoming available online i have to tell you that with regard to his allegations about a rigged trial board hearings. and. very egregious unprofessional coverup excessive force but also management mouth mouth these things perjury and a lot of other serious things i believe in one hundred percent the l.a.p.d. has been shown and has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and cronyism within the department that has victimized i think and probably driven out a great many good officers i left for similar reasons to head over to argue dot com and join the debate on christopher dorner there you can also follow the latest events and find out why the former police officer allegedly became a killer. it's because.

i'm also a court has ruled to place russian opposition leaders say a gay widow close under house arrest for violating a travel restrictions while under investigation would also if as accused of inciting violence during protests and using force against police men are just anally artie's pardon me a nice anally has more on the man in question. humors with the protests as a leader just over a year ago here in russia when anti-government rallies really took off in unprecedented numbers and we quickly became one of the main faces but he's been in politics for much longer really in the late one nine hundred ninety s. he ran for an m.p. seat for a party called the stalinist bloc for the u.s.s.r.

and today he's head of the left front which is a young radical communist organization and that's actually how they describe themselves and they're most known publicly for calling for revolution and during the recent protests was detained on multiple occasions for violating police orders and calling on other demonstrators to do the same let's listen to some of the things he calls the crowd to do you love. when you. do it just learn to. do it. now charges against a very in june he was found guilty of attacking a young woman at one of these protests and several months ago in october a russian t.v. station aired a documentary which featured hidden camera footage allegedly showing trying to raise foreign funding and organize riots here in moscow and other regions

throughout the country although opposition activists had initially viewed him as the leader of the sort of face of their movement he often now fails to see eye to eye with fellow activists most recently at a funeral of another activist scuffles broke out between about so and fellow protesters because they were so upset he was trying to use the funeral as a p r platform take a look at the scuffles now he's under house arrest being arrested has really become somewhat of. a if you could say he's been taken into jail without detention twelve times in the last twelve months will now see how being under house arrest for those travel restrictions on the violations plays out. we will of course be keeping a close watch on the story on our internet site so head over to our team dot com to learn if the latest arrest could be a signal for the russian opposition to brace itself for further tension with the government. u.k. lawmakers seem to be in need of

somebody who is serving coffee to politicians a lot of the police federation representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police officers but i spoke to the former editor of the police to review to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations well morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers and i knew i was because of the attacks on their pay and conditions of their pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who could like the rest of us made coffee themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by us the taxpayers a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officers we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone who serves coffee to politicians should be making more money than

a front line police officer let's take a look at my coffee twenty grand government where do i saw it. all just go from washington research coffee give me. you know probably no sunset drinks night again tonight is basically a kick from the boring because they're just being ridiculous and advertisers and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary brits and of course a lot of critics saying that with austerity measures read by saying for a lot of people in the u.k. the politicians could have made do with a capsule of boiling water and some instant coffee. just ahead for you this hour it may be too early to celebrate the story of a budget deal for the e.u. which aims to cut brussels red tape could now victim to a bureaucracy that and other stories are coming up after a short break. wealthy

thanks thanks thanks thanks.

thanks welcome back leaders may be popping the champagne corks to celebrate a historic budget deal but it now looks like the european parliament could spoil the party i mean please have the final say on whether the first ever cut to the union spending goes through but they could eventually block it they are planning a secret vote on the budget plan and what's seen as a revolt against leaders economists james matter way weighs in. constitutionally the well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this no whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print of the budget or already has to be politic to said he would be able to support the steel and the heads of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that they were likely to support it so it's

going to be rocky right i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend on spending more money now that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around this glosses over the fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line the you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this david cameron maybe claiming victory in brussels but don't mess to clean it one issue just won't go away the investigation into rate think thing at banks in britain is expanding with

revelations over just how widespread the practice is actually is max kaiser reacts . i'm going to order the work for today just for variety i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would imagine if i thought that our drone sent up a stink frank jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded innocent passenger splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the governor would give a flying shit about their own population i would mention the day word but i don't know because they don't. we're going to be on oil turmoil in the arab spring countries in tunisia and escalating political crisis following the assassination of chokri belaid a secular opposition leader critics have accused the country's ruling is honest party of defying people's demands for change by rejecting its prime minister's plan to reshuffle the government now the islamists are now her holding

a mass rally to back the legitimacy of their power this comes one day after belize funeral was marred by clashes between protesters that blame the government i am a police for his death violence erupted near the cemetery and culminated in anti regime rallies which ended in arrests and security forces using tear gas and despite authorities managing to keep the huge crowds away from the city center for now experts believe that the unrest could take a turn for the worse. to see its enduring a profound crisis the crisis of the crude to the existing the new arrangements to holding and any massive crudity of the way in which to operate i think there are signs that this city disintegrate into some kind of civil war going hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see the popular move organize to prevent one of those frightening scene use the road to external

support for example by the qatari government of the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to be seen whether we've got the present government. action against these two groups. if an ocean is in tunisia and updates us on her latest via her twitter feed and one post reports that pro-government demonstrators have chanted anti french slogans at a recent rally for more you can follow her at m. for the underscore r.t. . and as bahrain approaches the second anniversary of the beginning of anti regime protests the government and the opposition have finally agreed to resume dialogue but chances for ending political deadlock in the gulf kingdom are slim with the opposition clearly not trusting authorities following months of persecution or. reports through any pro governmental newspaper in bahrain you did an

impression that the government has nothing to hide the news of an uprising of the opposition is dominating the front page and if you look through it you'll see other stories about the political discourse in the country. the country's information minister insists bahrain has no problems with people speaking out that freedom of expression in bahrain is very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a law to be issued soon that further guarantees it we have a problem related to banning so much science but that's to protect bahrain from six here in ethnic problems and violence only and not for any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own center for human rights which i

work for website is a blog we have almost more than four hundred website out of blog almost the most of them are human rights. political website although of certain block we have only facebook and twitter there are many which is not a blog. sayed spoke to us on the back over two week prison term for what was called breaking the law on public gatherings several weeks later he was arrested again the editor in chief of bahrain's only independent newspaper says this is how things are in his country if you speak out if you express yourself you are expressing yourself at your own risks people are brave enough to speak out but they do that and they could be punished one day you could be put in jail you could end up like three years because if you tweeted something social networking came of age during the

uprisings of recent years a fact not lost on bahrain's leaders who have watched almost daily street protests and demand usual drop in web traffic through the country picked up by an american internet morning tour leaves human rights activists here wondering exactly who the constitutional right to expression really applies to. ski r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain let's move on to some other stories in the headlines today. at least one person has been killed as for storm nino pummels the northeast of the united states the blizzard has already caused massive blackouts leaving more than six hundred fifty thousand homes without electricity the government declared a state of emergency in five states whether five thousand flights have also been cancelled. clashes have erupted in india after a man convicted of a terrorist attack on new delhi in two thousand and one was executed the president

against female circumcision but police quickly moved to remove the half naked women from the venue or to lorien hard for us has been quizzing some in new york to find out if they would be ready to bear all their good cards. in new york city it's legal for ladies to protest topless so where are the bodies this week let's talk about that that part of the body even though it's legal it's still private. but do you think that would draw a lot of attention to the cause but then again you know the track strong growth. what it attracts you there. would you ever consider protesting

topless for a reason yeah what would be the reason. hunger you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe you are not but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with the kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it i mean someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if he'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. to let him out later the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally.

coming up in just a few minutes and to breaking this set what abeam are able to. saudi arabia has ordered its retailers to construct one point six metre tall barriers in the middle of their stores a rather unusual demand is that something related to everyone's favorite buzzword terrorism no it is to keep male and female coworkers separate saudi arabia's pretty infamous in the west for its laws regarding the sexes and their segregation activists always want to go to other countries to convince them to adopt western attitudes that deep down in their hearts they secretly want but often they miss

things like the fact that it was saudi women who ask for the segregation feeling uncomfortable while buying products from men according to a.f.p. you know some people in countries like saudi arabia or north korea might actually like living a radically different lifestyle and even if they don't like living that way well it is their job to fix it not by some sort of western intervention when i want to live in either of those countries not really do i want to live in a country with the saudi arabian concept of gender not really a part of having freedom of choice means being able to choose things that i may think are backwards or illogical you know let them have the walls in the stores if they want western civilization you know if it's truly the end all of human evolution then they'll take those walls down eventually on their own but that's just my opinion.
